Sony Ericsson Unveils Stylish Z555 Clamshell

Europe / US : Sony Ericsson revealed the Z555, an elegant clamshell phone which combines a rich feature set with striking good looks. It’s a perfect match of the latest feature set with an innovative diamond design, intended to make one big style statement.

Together with the Z555, Sony Ericsson announced a series of stylish new accessories including a Design Collection of four leather bags all offering unique and creative carrying solutions, as well as three new sleek Bluetooth™ Headsets, HBH-PV708, HBH-PV770 and HBH-PV712.

“The Z555 is designed to reflect your look and attract attention,” said Sven Totte, Head of Style Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We’ve created it for people who are looking for a beautifully designed phone that reflects their personal style and does not compromise on features or performance.”

Sony Ericsson Z555 – A statement of style

  • Gesture Control – manage calls with a wave of your hand
  • Hidden display – for an uninterrupted finish

  • Sleek design accessories to complete your look

Make a statement
Whether at work or at play, you have a personal style that’s all your own – a style and look that the Z555 sets off perfectly. With a unique diamond reflective finish on the front, and sophisticated details, it truly reflects your personality. Choose between Diamond Black and Dusted Rose and you will soon get noticed.

Just wave the interruptions away
The Z555 incorporates Sony Ericsson’s handy Gesture Control, letting you easily mute the phone or snooze its alarm without having to interrupt what you’re doing. When a call comes in, a simple movement of your hand back and forth over the phone mutes the ringtone. Similarly, sweep your hand over the phone when using it as your alarm clock to put it into ‘snooze’ mode. Works like magic!

Stay informed – discreetly
The Z555’s outside display shows you who is calling even without opening the clamshell. When it’s in idle mode, the outside display remains discretely invisible…with no compromise to the design.

The latest look
Just like you, the Z555 changes its look to fit the suit the season. The colours and designs that appear within the phone’s themes, effectively the look of the menu system and home screen, can update automatically as the year goes by. Linked to the phone’s calendar, the Z555 knows when it’s time for that summer look to give way to the fall. It even saves something special for big events like News Year’s Eve!

Indulge your passions on the go
The Z555 allows you to grab that spare moment in a taxi to catch up with your favourite band or even book. Store your favourite music tracks or audio books on the phone and sort them by chapters, albums or artists. Tune in to FM Radio for the weather, traffic or the latest celebrity news.

Snap the action as it happens
The Z555’s 1.3MP camera ensures that you’re always in a position to snap the action as it happens. Take a picture of a potential new purchase and send it as a picture message to a friend or upload it directly to your ‘blogsite’ so that everyone can share what you’ve been up to.

Accessorise to complete the look
Any stylist will tell you that no look is complete without the right accessories. The Design Collection offers four different stylish leather bags that complement
your style and protect your phone at the same time. This Collection offers creative and stylish carrying solutions that fit with your phone and your style.

The Z555 is also compatible with three sleek new Bluetooth™ headsets:

  • The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV708 offers the best combination of style and convenience – to keep you in touch whether you’re walking the dog or buying a coffee
  • The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV770 provides an alternative in-ear wearing style so that you can still use it while wearing your glasses or sunglasses
  • The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV712 reduces background noise and maximises comfort, letting you concentrate on the person you are talking with. It also raises the style stakes thanks to the two changeable Style-up™ covers included with it.

Fresh new Sony Ericsson Z750 pics and hands on video

Finally some fresh new pics of the stylish Sony Ericsson Z750. It seems like ages ago that this phone was announced and it kinda disappeared for quite a while. It recently got approved by the FCC, both the international version and the US version. The Z750 is a worthy upgrade over the Z610 and I think this is what the Z610 should have been from the start. The new purple color is very attractive. The Z750 has a larger screen, HSDPA and FM radio. One very interesting feature is it's built in GPS features. It doesn't actually have a GPS antenna built in but rather GPS software and Google maps built in. It even has it's own icon and is labelled location services. It also features the new Walkman and media gallery UI. Bring it on...

Sony Ericsson’s Latest Cellphone Uses “Shake” Technology

Recently launched in Canada through Rogers, the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman Phone lets you change tracks with a flick of your wrist. Just like SanDisk’s Sansa Shaker that I reviewed earlier, the Slider handset will randomly change to a new song when you literally shake the phone physically. For an additionally touch of flare, the phone also has a set of orange illumination lights along the spine that light up whenever you navigate through the phone’s menu system.

Sound silly? As I found with the Sansa Shaker, shaking your mp3 player is not a practical way to change songs (especially if you’re the kind to dance or move around when listening to music), it works, but in a fun, novelty way. The difference here being that the Shaker is pink and designed for little girls while I’m guessing the W580i is geared for adults. You’ll probably shake it to show off for your friends, but not when you’re listening to music on your own.
At 14 mm thin, the new slider comes in two colours; “style white” and “urban grey”. It has a 262K screen, uses Sony’s Walkman 2.0 music player and Disc2Phone Music Management software, both Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 support, and can be loaded with music tracks from a Memory Stick Micro. It comes with 512MB stick in the box, but you can also get a free upgrade from Rogers for a 2GB memory stick instead.
